I migrated to Linux last week. I found out that Rocket League was unsupported on Linux. So I went to Steam and enabled Proton compatibility for the game, and ran the Windows version with no issues.

Thank you! Definitely looking into that. That’s another thing I’ve never understood, why I lose connection to a local service when the broadband cuts out.
If I get something with split DNS, and not need an Internet connection… That would be huge.
- Comment on (Rant) Don't buy Rockstar games. 1 week ago:
It hurts, but you may be right. I hate trendsetters for price hikes. Hopefully releases like Peak for $20 can help remind folk that AAAs aren’t always worth the base cost. I just really dislike how capitalism ruins everything, in this case the obsession over currency has led to the games development industry being corporatized; for all but indies it’s largely about how to appease the consumer and maximize profit, instead of how to make something people will love and get enough sales to make another game.
I came in to the franchise at Vice City Stories and San Andreas, loved them! I do know a little about the chronological releases and that there were spinoffs that for some reason weren’t numbered aha. So:
Vice City (Miami 1980s) GTA III -
- Liberty City (sort of NYC) San Andreas -
- Los Santos (Los Angeles)
- San Fierro (San Francisco?)
- Las Venturas (Las Vegas) GTA IV -
- Liberty City (New York City) GTA V ( -
- Los Santos again
- North Yankton (North Dakota)
- Surroundings are a mashup of several real-life counterparts GTA VI -
- Vice City again
I preferred San Andreas, and liked it mainly for the size and beauty of the map (post storyline appeal) and radio stations, Vice City for the collectibles, GTA IV for the brilliant and crazy storyline characters, and GTA V for the same reason as San Andreas.
A couple of my all-time favourite games were Rockstar (Need for Speed Most Wanted and Midnight Club 3, underground street racing).

Self-hosting be like ^^
I think I had issues similar to that. Perhaps the PiHole is running a conflicting DHCP server? I have my own set of weird issues… Bad connectivity so I need a WiFi range extender, but it’s not a true extender and has its own IP address, acting as a router sometimes and not forwarding DNS queries to the main router… That, a lack of NAT loopback functionality, a lack of changeable DNS settings and the AdGuard Home apparently taking precedent in that side of the house, and I have a cocktail of connection issue bs lol. The main router can DNS perfectly fine, but if I’m connected to the extender I have to add DNS rewrites to AGH… which works for most services…
- Comment on Getting Started with Proxmox 1 week ago:
Yes! This.
I have one machine for network sharing storage and thus a user for login and r/w powers. The same storage is used by other machines to save the files, and so each autonomous user for CCTV and qBitTorrent needed to have the same UID as the Samba login, as well as qBittorrent share the UID with Emby, so each program had rw permissions and those containers had to be privileged (otherwise the permissions under ls -l would be ‘nobody nogroup’).
- Comment on Beginners Questions about Audiobookshelf, DNS and nginx 1 week ago:
I have a router given to me by my ISP, which incidentally has less features than their older model, so I was wondering, if you know: Would some ‘aftermarket’ gateways also be a custom DNS server? Sometimes it’d be great to have the resolution handled completely by the gateway instead of a separate machine - especially as some of my services just don’t seem to declare their names. And my stock router has a terrible downside - no NAT loopback
- Comment on Beginners Questions about Audiobookshelf, DNS and nginx 1 week ago:
Currently I only have my fiancée on board, but the moment something requires more than setting a custom login domain and user+pass, her patience dwindles. She’s a good baseline for me to know that most people won’t be happy with a manual cryptographic handshake between contacts or fucking with IP:port settings
- Comment on Beginners Questions about Audiobookshelf, DNS and nginx 1 week ago:
Exactly.
- Comment on Beginners Questions about Audiobookshelf, DNS and nginx 1 week ago:
On Cloudflare, the domain name must point to the public IP of your router.
On the router, ports 80 and 443 must be forwarded to the (local IP of) the machine running Nginx.
Nginx must have the domain name point to the local IP of the machine running ABS.
Are you using Nginx or Nginx Proxy Manager?

Quick note about my setup, some things threw a permissions hissy fit when in separate containers, so Media actually has Emby, Sonarr, Radarr, Prowlarr and two instances of qBittorrent. A few of my containers do have supplementary programs.
- Comment on Getting Started with Proxmox 2 weeks ago:
An LXC is isolated, system-wise, by default (unprivileged) and has very low resource requirements.
- Storage also expands when needed, i.e. you can say it can have 40GB but it’ll only use as much as needed and nothing bad will happen if your allocated storage is higher than your actual storage… Until the total usage approaches 100%. So there’s some flexibility. With a VM the storage is definite.
- Usually a Debian 12 container image takes up ~1.5GB.
- LXCs are perfectly good for most use cases. VMs, for me, only come in when necessary, when the desired program has more needs like root privileges, in which case a VM is much safer than giving an LXC access to the Proxmox system. Or when the program is a full OS, in the case of Home Assistant.
Separating each service ensures that if something breaks, there are zero collateral casualties.

Because it is cheaper to manufacture.
They buy storage with 12 channels, 512Gib Nand Chip per channel. This means each SSD has 512Gibx12ch=768 GiB of storage, or 825 GB.
Key:
Gib = gibibit, giga/binary/bit, 1024⁴ bits GiB = gibibyte, 1024⁴ x 8 bits GB = gigabyte, giga/(decimal)/byte, 1000⁴ x 8 bits - Comment on Sony is releasing a new PS5 console, but it's a downgrade 2 weeks ago:

- Comment on Having trouble setting up Nginx 3 weeks ago:
Docker also has its own LAN IP address, in my experience it’s 172.17.0.1 instead of 127.0.0.1. And yes, between containers the container name is used, e.g. plexserver:2736, and it’s good practice to manually give them names.
- Comment on Having trouble setting up Nginx 3 weeks ago:
Hi, Cloudflare DNS needs to point to the external IP address, aka 201.172.48.922. 192.168.x is internal and only used by the router. Changing this, and port forwarding 80 and 443 to the NPM host, will allow everything to work remotely.
That said, in a comment you said you’re only aiming for local access. The only requirement for this is setting your Plex client to the internal IP of the server, 192.168.x. Only when setting up external access do you need a cert, domain and DNS records.
Finally, if you can set your router’s DNS servers, set one to the NPM server. That may allow local devices to find the internal IP by querying the FQDN (domain).
